Philadelphia: Muslim who shot cop says, “I follow Allah, and that’s why I did what I did”

Friday, February 02, 2018

Jihad Watch : Archer “told detectives that he believes police enforce laws that
undermine the Quran’s teachings. He said: “I follow Allah. I pledge my
allegiance to the Islamic State, and that’s why I did what I did.”

Will some “moderate” Muslim spokesman in the U.S. explain how Archer
is misunderstanding Islam, and how his shooting of Officer Hartnett is
not a manifestation of his following of Allah? Probably not, but if past
experience holds true, if any does so, it will be with a barrage of
deceptions and detours.

Meanwhile, where did Archer learn his Islam? Has
his mosque been investigated? Why not? Meanwhile, note that here again, a Muslim attributes his act of
violence to Islam. Yet as we see in the trial of the Finsbury Park
Mosque attacker in the UK, the political and media elites continue to
behave as if anyone who connects Islam to violence is a racist, bigoted
“Islamophobe” who must be silenced for the general good. The fact that
Islamic jihadists make this connection repeatedly and openly they
steadfastly ignore.“‘When is this going to stop?’ Philadelphia cop, a Delco native, describes harrowing shooting,” by Alex Rose, Delaware County News Network, January 31, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

PHILADELPHIA : Philadelphia police officer and
East Lansdowne native Jesse Hartnett described in court Monday the
harrowing attack he faced at the hands of alleged gunman Edward Archer
in a Jan. 6, 2017 shooting.

“I hear gunshots … I think to myself, ‘When is it going to stop?’”
Hartnett told the jury of nine women and three men, according to a story
in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Hartnett was on patrol alone in a marked police cruiser at 60th and
Spruce streets at about 11:40 p.m. when the assault occurred. At a
preliminary hearing in March 2016, Hartnett described putting his left
arm up to shield his head as Archer allegedly ran up to the car, put his
arm through the shattered window and continued firing. The incident was
captured on surveillance video.

“I had a split-second to react,” said Hartnett. “As I see him running at me, everything told me to take cover.”Archer, 32, is facing attempted murder, aggravated assault and related charges. He smirked at times during Hartnett’s testimony, according to the Inquirer story…. Hartnett spent two weeks in the hospital after the attack and underwent multiple surgeries. He showed his scarred arm to the jury
Monday, according to the Inquirer. Archer was taken into custody about a block from the scene by
responding officers. He later told detectives that he believes police
enforce laws that undermine the Quran’s teachings.

“I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, and
that’s why I did what I did,” Homicide Capt. James Clark has quoted him
as saying.
